Faith: A kid. Angel's got a kid. Wesley: Connor. Faith: A teenage kid born last year. Wesley: I told you, he grew up in a hell dimension. Faith: Right. And what, Cordelia spent her last summer as… Wesley: A divine being. Faith: Uh-huh. Can I just ask--What the hell are you people doing?

This quote from the blog

As always, if the season ender wound up being the last episode of Leverage ever made, it would be a satisfying ending to the show. Nate Ford, finally accepting who he is, bleeding out on the deck for his new, broken family -- I could have finished the series there and been ridiculously happy.

means the eventual series finale may hurt a lot, right?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Hardison damned well better live, IJS.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

They all better live! When the series ends, 12 seasons from now.

I agreed with John about the story-arc-rightness of it, but I would'a still never forgiven him if it had ended that way.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Aw, good on him for being willing to end on an actual ending and not fake happy it up. Because while I can't bear to lose any of our peeps, I hate the fake saccharin endings in shows so much more.

That said, I am not okay with Leverage ending for a good long while. I can't believe I went from checking out the first ep because I appreciate crushing on CK from afar to falling ridiculously in love with the show and characters in the first couple of eps.

Same here. I'm still amazed at how hard I fell in love with the first episode.

I was just reading a couple reviews on pajiba because I saw one on Fringe I like, and DUDE. They hated on SPN S2 and Leverage. I...just...I can see how people mightn't fall for Leverage like I did, but the degree of disdain they hurled at it was massive. Even in my most equanimous state, they were on crack.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I didn't even want to watch Leverage, but it was one of the few shows that TCG wanted me to tape so I did, and I was so very quickly in love with it.

I had at one point been avoiding this thread because I thought there was talk about the new Justified. But when I gave in, I found there was none. Now that I saw it, I have no idea why there hasn't been any conversation about it. Seriously big episode, though mainly a set-up one.

I'm reserving judgment until I see where they're going with it.

If they stay as true to Elmore spiritually as they have so far, it will be a wild two episodes. There's a lot at stake, and a lot of it is deeply personal to a many of the characters.

ETA I'm a little worried about collateral damage. I do NOT want anything to happen to Raylan's boss, for instance.
